How can I grow taller?


I'm a teenage girl. I sleep 9 hours a day, take a calcium tablet occasionally, and drink milk, yet I'm only 5' 2''.

Is there anything else I can do to grow taller? Any sport I should take up? Any fruit I should eat?

What did you do to grow taller?

Thanks in advance.

Many people stop growing any where between 12 and 22 years old. It depends on your family genes. My family all stopped growing at age 12, with the exception of my little sister.

Maybe you should concentrate on things you can control. I have a medical condition called Dwarfism.
I am 26 years old and I'm about 4 feet tall. No joke!

Also, I am very independent. I have a job, an apartment, car, huge family, and I'm married. There are so many things a person do. Instead of thinking about what we can't do, it's healthier to think about the positive. We all have things about ourselves that we do not like. We can choose to not allow the differences define who we are, rather it's a part of us.

nobody in my family is really tall but im 5"10 and 12 the only thing i did was pray everyday and eat protein

If you are still within the growing age then perhaps you can add a few inches by eating a balanced diet and leading an active life. A nutritious diet that includes fruits and vegetables, dairy, cereals, meat, and plenty of water will aid the natural process for enhancing height. A good and proper night鈥檚 sleep is also essential for the growth process. Taking part in active sports along with some stretching exercises can have a cumulative effect on human growth. There is not much we can do to grow taller after puberty. There are many products in the market today that claim to increase height of adults, but they are all scams without sufficient scientific evidence. Surgical options, though available, are EXTREMELY RISKY and of course expensive. This leaves us with basically two options.

1. Stretching Exercises: - These exercises will help you improve your posture. You鈥檒l be surprised that how much of 鈥淗eight鈥?is hidden behind your slouched back. You can, at any age, add an inch or two of height by simply improving your posture. Follow the link below for information on specific height enhancing exercises:

2. Second, you can create a 鈥淭aller鈥?effect by following some smart fashion techniques. You can easily add another inch or two of 鈥渋llusionary height鈥?by improving your dress coordination. The link below can provide some input on height increase through fashion effect:

Good luck

Females usually stop growing at 15 and often earlier but sometimes growth continues beyond 15.

Try a Yahoo search for "grow taller naturally" but beware of scams.
